Healthy Banana Bread

June 19, 2007

This is a delicious healthy banana bread that I've been making for years. The recipe is flexible, optionally sugar-free and dairy-free, and can be embellished with chocolate, nuts, and fruit. A great way to use your over-ripe bananas.

Pour into a generously greased and dusted loaf pan (I use a glass pan). Bake at 350 for about 50 min - a toothpick inserted in center should come out clean. Wait 10 minutes before removing from pan and placing on a rack to cool. Enjoy :-)

This is a great recipe for banana bread! I have an old tried and true recipe that I've made it in the past, but was looking for a healthier option. This one is really good, nice and moist. I used about 6 bananas to make the 1 1/2 cups-I'm glad you added the measurement in there, or it would have been quite dry and not near as good. I used whole wheat flour, and didn't add any of the optional ingredients, but added 1 tsp of cinnamon. Great recipe and great site! Keep up the great work Patty!

This banana bread is AMAZING! I really enjoy baking, its like therapy for me :) Its great to know that I can bake things I don't feel guilty about eating later :) I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes. My two year old inhaled this banana bread and my husband loved it!

I made this recipe over the weekend, and everyone LOVED it. It was very moist! I added chocolate chips and chopped almonds as well as topped it with toasted chopped almonds to add some more texture. Overall this is a delicious recipe
